It's small, lots of stuff in there all crammed in but it has, so far gotten the job done for OJ, cheese, milk, snacks and a variety of other items I've found myself grabbing.

Picture it: Medford, 2005. Thanksgiving Day…read more I lifted my body from bed and gazed out the window at the heavy flakes furiously falling from the heavens and quickly covering the ground. My then girlfriend told me that the friend who was suppose to have us for dinner had bailed. So we were stuck, without food, without car, without family in Tufts housing on Thanksgiving. Then I heard the 3 magical words that every overly-anxious, over-protective andy-dyke yearns to have spoken to her by her SO: "Go find food." I strapped up like I was Sherpa Tenzing, and boldly braved the elements while my beloved stayed in bed. I stumbled down a barren Boston Ave, jerking on closed door after closed door. Finally, like a sugar-and-fat oasis amidst the storm, I pulled on the door of Tufts Variety and it miraculously opened. What before my wonderous eyes should appear?! This crawlspace of a convenience store had one of everything I could need. Variety, indeed. In a truly strange twist of fate, there was one remaining Hungry Man Turkey Dinner left, with corn, stuffing and mashed potatos. Best ghetto Thanksgiving EVER. In the year that followed, I visited Tufts Variety often, fetching candies and ice cream. Not one inch of this store is wasted space--its a tight fit but it all fits, from ice cream novelties to lean cuisine frozen dinners, from soda in a can to peanut M&Ms. Hard-on for scratch-offs? There are PLENTY to be had here. It's grungy and dirty, but I prefered it to those other convenience stores with their "wide aisles" and "well-lit environments". The guy who ran that counter (always the same guy, always!) may not have known my name, but he sure did know my credit card--the $10 minimum on CC purchases meant I usually walked out with 3 more strings of Nerd Rope than I necessarily needed.

They usually stock a great array of snacks drinks and every day items that are necessary for a quick pick up. They also have lottery. Parking is a little sketchy as you need to meet her on Shirley Avenue or the side street. I'm sure they do a killer business from the whole neighborhood as there's a Lotta new apartment buildings that have popped up along Shirley Avenue. Staff is pretty polite. They are open pretty early in the morning to accommodate the MBTA crowd. Kudos for staying open through the decades.

Lots of ready to eat foods in the frozen section including yummy desserts! For Diwali they had seasonal festive lamps and decoration items. The gentleman at the counter Monovar was very friendly and helpful! We asked for a few items and he pointed them out to us. They sell homemade biryani too - he convinced us to buy 2 containers of it lol! Great salesman! It was actually pretty good too. Came in handy for a dinner party we had. We bought a lot of stuff and as we were leaving he offered us free ice cream bars from the freezer! Parking was easy on a side street. Will definitely be back to stock up next time!

If they have the whole tenderloin (the whole psoas muscle that you cut it into filet mignon steaks) don't hesitate to buy all of it. It is always top notch quality. Filet mignon is my second favorite steak after picanha (final tip of biceps femoris, in the US it's called top sirloin cap or rump cap). Get their ground beef, beef cubes, beef shank steaks.. Their beef is the best. 2- Long green beans (Loubyeh). This is one of my favorite vegan dishes. Cook it with olive oil onion and garlic. 3- other halal products as you might find at any halal store. Do not get chicken here. Not sure why it wasn't good. We tried their menu for food. It's Desi food. It was good but not phenomenal. The store is packed and you might hit people while shopping. So watch your step. Staff mind their business, not on the friendly side but their beef meat consistent quality is worth keeping coming back. I love that they don't treat you specially. They treat all people the same.
